Huang Jie walked to the house and came to the bus stop on the side to wait for the bus. He put his hands in his pockets as he waited, and Tina just stood quietly behind him.

"Are you waiting for the bus for the first time?" Huang Jie looked at Tina who was looking around on one side and said, looking at the bustling city streets, Tina spoke after a while, "Well, yes, they were all in the sewers before." ”

"By the way, I'll tell you something first."

Tina turned around and sat down, half-squinted her eyes, and sighed and said, "You want me to stay hidden behind you later." ”

"Hmm......" Huang Jie nodded and said, "Yes." ”

"What kind of friend are you?" Tina asked rhetorically, "Don't you believe it yourself?" ”

"Well, it's an old friend."

"Old friends?"

"Well, I'm just worried about the people around him." Huang Jie lowered his head and said, "Huh...... Why don't you read my thoughts. ”

"Well......" Tina sighed, "there are some things that you have to say to be happy, and besides, ......" she pointed her head and said, "I can control whether I read your brain waves or not, and sometimes I will block your inner thoughts, after all, I don't like to snoop on other people's privacy." ”

"Unexpectedly, you are still a reasonable rabbit...... Huang Jie said as he looked up at the ceiling of the tram.

"Again, my name is Tina." Tina frowned and pointed at Huang Jie and said.

"Okay." Huang Jie said with the back of his head, and then a maglev bus slowly approached their station, he turned around and greeted Tina, and Huang Jie and Tina stepped on the steps into the car.

The two men got on the train and rested for a while, and they arrived at the station: the New Thames.

Looking at the empty river in front of her and the bustling city center opposite, Tina spoke first, "So...... Is your friend a fish? ”

Huang Jie ignored Tina, he slid the air and sent an email to Xie Qi: "I've arrived. ”

After a few seconds, Xie Qi's email replied, "Back off first." ”

"Stand back?" Tina looked at the air screen in front of Huang Jie and asked, before Huang Jie could speak, the river in front of them suddenly opened to both sides like a crack, and the water splashed up, Tina disappeared into the air with a wit, and all the splashes splashed on Huang Jie on the side.

"I'm ......" Huang Jie was splashed all over the water, he shook the water on his body, and scolded, "Damn it......" At this time, Tina returned to him, she looked at Huang Jie coldly and asked, "Are you okay?" ”

"What do you say?" Huang Jie scolded.

Tina half-squinted one eye, helplessly looked at Huang Jie, who was covered in water, and then turned her head to look ahead, "Look there." She pointed to the front.

In front of them, the crack parted the river on both sides, and a staircase stretched out from under it, and a man walked up: a slender figure like a benchmark, a healthy complexion of wheat, a knife-cut eyebrow, a high nose, thin but pursed lips, and a pair of dark eyes that flashed dark green from time to time, and he had a great faint cool smell in the city.

"You are.... Xie Qi, right? Tina, who was on the side, glanced over at the man and said.

"How do you know who I am?" Tina said alarmedly.

Tina snapped her fingers and tapped her temple, "I'm just ......"

"Don't listen to her." Huang Jie on one side said, "This guy ......" He paused for a moment, and then said, "She's a student at the Detective Academy, so she's particularly good at body language." ”

"Didn't you say you came alone?" Xie Qi looked at Huang Jie and said, "What are you taking her for?" ”

"Well......" Huang Jie thought about how to respond to Xie Qi's words, and suddenly Huang Jie thought of an idea, and just as he was about to say it, Tina grabbed Huang Jie's collar, "You are not allowed to use this!" ”

"Huh?" Huang Jie looked down at Tina, who was blushing, her fair face was flushed with a layer of redness at this time.

"Are you two okay?" Xie Qi on the side said, "I can only have one person come in here, who of you will come?" ”

"I'll come." Huang Jie turned his head sideways and said firmly to Xie Qi, and Tina on the side also loosened his collar, and then turned around and walked to the side.

"Let's go." Xie Qi on the side said, "This place can't be exposed for too long, let's go down first." ”

"Okay." Huang Jie replied, and then followed Xie Qi down the stairs, and after the two walked down, the river slowly closed and returned to normal.

"Where are we going?"

Xie Qi didn't answer his words, but swiped the screen to remove a white coat and put it in Huang Jie's hand, "You know what to do." After speaking, he walked towards the front, Huang Jie changed his clothes, followed him and continued to walk down, the two of them went down to the lower end of the stairs, pushed open the door, and walked in.

The world inside the door instantly became lively, people came and went, most of the people here were wearing white coats, and a few people were wearing military uniforms, and people nodded to him when they saw Xie Qi.

After walking in the long silver corridor for about ten minutes, Xie Qi opened the door at the end of the corridor and made a gesture to signal Huang Jie to hurry in.

After Huang Jie entered, Xie Qi looked around and saw that there was no one, so he closed the door.

"What's wrong, man?"

"This is a military exclusion zone." Xie Qi said expressionlessly, without the slightest emotional fluctuation, "Ordinary people are not allowed to enter, so let you put on a white coat and follow me." Then he turned on the light on one side of the wall.

The interior is a world away from the outside, with beautiful white paneling, strip light tubes, and a row of heated projection monitors emitting plastic that rejuvenate the space. In the middle of the room is an ergonomic padded chaise longue.

"What's this?" Huang Jie walked over to the recliner and said, "This is today's protagonist." Xie Qi pointed his finger at his chest, "He can let you find what you want." ”

"And what is it called?"

"It's called Toshers." Xie Qi said solemnly, "The Chinese name is waste pickers. ”

"yes, I know what you're trying to say, how it's similar to the name of this game."

"Yes." Huang Jie paused, "Then you can explain." ”

"Let's put it this way, this game is not all notified that you are going to enter a virtual world and participate in a battle royale-like game." Xie Qi asked

"It should be."

"No, it should be." Xie Qi pointed to the machine behind him and explained, "The official prediction machine of your game was jointly developed by Mobius and our military, and the one behind you is the prototype: the first generation of Mobius, which is also known as Tosher 1.0. ”

"Oh, yes, old Xie." Huang Jie circled around the machine and said, "Your promotion in the past two years is quite fast." ”

"Everything that happened here today, you have to keep it a secret." Xie Qi explained, "You can also talk to your friends by the way. ”

"Friends?" Huang Jie asked, following Xie Qi's eyes, he turned around and looked at the corner, only to see a figure suddenly appear in the air in front of the wall, it was Tina.

Tina was a little embarrassed, she didn't know how she was discovered, she said hello to Xie Qi with a wry smile, "Hi ......"

Xie Qi didn't care about Tina, and continued, "Mobius gave this prototype to our military, and the original Mobius system was very complicated, so I made several improvements to it. He swiped the projection screen on the side, opened the model of the whole machine, and said, "On the surface, Tosher will define it as a scientific research tool, or even a host for entertainment....... the kind of entertainment host that is often expensive, they want it to go door-to-door, but this one in my hand is different." ”

"What is this machine for?" Huang Jie asked.

"The most basic features are not much improved." Xie Qi explained, "It's just that this one needs to be registered with the DNA in your blood. ”

"Why?"

"It's simple." Xie Qi spread out his hand and said, "I will sample your DNA and register, and then you can enter the internal testing server of Operation Scavenger in advance, I have set up a high-energy independent server transmission device in the machine, which can connect to the coordinator on your neck, remotely assist you in viewing other people's memories, and can make those memories into virtual scenes for you to experience, and he can also open the memories of your ancestors in your DNA to help you investigate the past of your ancestors." ”

Xie Qi paced back and forth as he continued, "Tosher has developed a lot of new ones, many of which are just for entertainment, and of course to satisfy Mobius's selfish desires. Mobius wants to give people a glimpse of history. And for Mobius, they only want to know some prophetic secrets. Xie Qi put his hand on the shell of the machine, "It is said that some of the organizations involved in the scavenger operation have obtained the Prophet's secrets with the help of Mobius, some have obtained King Arthur's sword, some have obtained Victoria's treasure, and some have obtained something better. Xie Qi looked at the Sky Guard and said, "Help people explore the memories of their ancestors, and these memories that have not been touched by anyone may be the only way for you to find the truth you seek." ”

"Well......" Huang Jie said, "Lao Xie, how did we talk about going farther and farther, I don't want to find any ancestral memories, I just want to know what happened on the night of the Red Crisis." ”

"It's simple." Xie Qi said, "This thing can help you survey the memories of most people, and it can also help you discover the truth you want, but it's ......"

"But what?"

"Now I have a problem...... Xie Qi touched his chin, then turned his back and said, "The chip for remote data transmission is broken on my side, and it will take longer to redevelop a ......"

"What kind of chip are you talking about?" Huang Jie asked.

"It's simple, as long as you can transfer data remotely." Xie Qi touched his chin and said, "But this chip can only be installed in your coordinator." ”

"It's easy." Huang Jie took out the chip Lucius gave him from his pocket, "This is a WeChat base station transmitter made by my friend, it should be useful." ”

"Your friend?"

"Hmm." Huang Jie nodded, and then said, "It's that Lucius." ”

"I'm relieved if it's him." Xie Qi took the chip, then walked to the side of the machine and said, "You and your friend come over first." ”

"What?"

"Sit down, I'll take your DNA later." Xie Qi turned his back and walked towards the small room on the side.
